Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To determine the patient rated severity of cough on a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (with 0 being no cough and 100 signifying worst possible cough) in lidocaine spray versus lozenge versus gargle 2. To determine the operator rated overall procedure satisfaction on a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (with 0 signifying least satisfactory procedure and 10 signifying maximal satisfaction) during flexible bronchoscopy in lidocaine spray versus lozenge versus gargle Timepoint: From initiation to completion of procedure at 1 hour, at one day

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
â?? To determine operator rated severity of patient cough on a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (with 0 being no cough and 10 signifying worst possible cough) in lidocaine spray versus lozenge versus gargleTimepoint: from initiation to completion of procedure at 1 hour, at baseline, one day
